FFS, Smyths don't accept PayPal so I can't pre-order yet (need to do pay in 3 really) I've registered my interest on a couple of sites though so hopefully one of them pays off.

Legitimately the most hype moment in the Direct

Definitely buying this on launch - Fast RMX was great!

It's all detailed on this page https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/whats-new-with-nintendo-switch-online-on-nintendo-switch-2/?srsltid=AfmBOopoSrcrr3ICk0rRUckAfI5pzFbzlti3uCseOwWCcowdu1wPnKq2

Just noticed that some upgrade packs come bundled with your NSO Expansion Pack subscription including Metroid Prime 4, BOTW & TOTK There really is a tsunami of information that Nintendo have just dumped online - learning new things every few minutes

It does look weirdly ugly, I wonder if this is a subtle way to discourage people from buying physical

That's good news, hopefully there will be more than that too. I'm sure some third parties will offer free upgrades too, but I'm really curious to see how much these upgrade vouchers are going to cost - £10 would be pretty reasonable but given the cost of some of the software makes me think they'll be charging more

There are ongoing tests to verify the compatibility of original Switch games on the Switch 2 on this page https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/transfer-guide/compatible-games/ There are pdf lists of games that currently have issues too and to be honest there aren't too many games on there - I'm sure it'll be the same sort of thing as PS4 to PS5 where only a handful of games won't work in the end and it'll likely be limited to stuff like Labo VR that just straight up won't work (although it seems like you'll be able to play stuff like Ring Fit and the other Labo games if you connect original joy con wirelessly)

So launch is going to be pretty expensive - if I go for the MK bundle, a pro controller and another game then that will run me about £600

The difference in price between Mario Kart and Donkey Kong is weird though - £75 physical from MK, £66 physical for DK

Gah, my brother pay for our Family Membership of NSO so I won't be eligible to pre-order through that scheme

I was bracing myself for something more expensive after the Simply Games thing yesterday so that actually seems pretty good Only £30 odd extra for Mario Kart is kind of nuts too

It's Donkey Kong's time to shine now

I think he looks cool! But this is exactly what I want from a DK 3D game - just smash shit up

No, its fucking DK! Dream come fucking true!!

Banjo!

Sakurai's Air Ride! Fucking hell!

Kirby you beautiful boy!

Ha, I was so convinced it was Castlevania because of the vampire shit Still a massive announcemtn And it's fucking exclusive!!

Holy fucking shit - From Soft Castlevania???

Castlevania!

FAST FUSION!! New Shin'en game at launch!

Silksong (in a montage...)

Chibi Robo did show up! Sort of! Its impressive that they allow save states
